Before Using the Dryer / Connections
1. Removing the
packaging and check
After unpacking, make sure
that the dryer is undamaged.
If in doubt, do not use the
dryer. Contact After-Sales
Service or your local retailer.
Keep the packaging materials
(plastic bags, polystyrene
parts, etc.) out of reach of
children, as they are
potentially dangerous.
Remove the protective foil
from the control panel.
2. Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must be
carried out by a qualified
technician in compliance with
the manufacturer's
instructions and current
standard safety regulations.
Electrical connection must
comply with local Electricity
Board regulations.
Voltage information, power
consumption and the required
fuse protection is shown on the
rating plate mounted at the
rear of the dryer.
The manufacturer cannot
accept any liability for
personal injury or damage to
property resulting from
failure to adhere to these
instructions.
The dryer must be earthed as
prescribed by law.
Do not use extension leads or
multiple adaptors.
Before any maintenance on
the dryer disconnect it from
the mains supply.
Do not operate the dryer if it
has been damaged during
transport. Contact one of our
After-Sales Service
technicians.
Mains cables must be
replaced by an original cable
and is only to be carried out
by a technician from After-
Sales Service or an authorized
electrician.
After installation access to
the mains plug has to be
guaranteed, or the all-pole
disconnection has to be
possible with a switch.
3. Installation
Do not install your dryer
where it can be subject to
extreme conditions, such as:
poor ventilation,
temperatures around
freezing or above 35° C.
Before running the first cycle
ensure the water container
and heat exchanger are
correctly positioned.
Only for water container top
version: if possible use the
hose supplied to drain the
water directly into the
domestic plumbing system.
This will avoid having to
empty the water container at
the end of each drying cycle
since the condensation water
can be directly drained away.
Take care not to install the
dryer on a deep-pile carpet.
Take care not to trap the
mains cable between the
dryer and the wall.
Stability:
When installing the dryer
always carefully level the
dryer adjusting the four feet
and check the correct
levelling with a spirit level.
To built in the dryer
Remove the work-top and
replace it with the Built-In kit
UBS 10 (according to Eec
Electrical Regulations), which
can be ordered at your
dealer.
Stacking kit
Your dryer can be stacked on
top of your front loading
washing machine. To do this,
use stacking kit AMH 752,
available at your dealer.
Minimum housing
dimensions:
Width: 600 mm
Height: 850 mm
Depth: 600 mm
Precautions and General Recommendations
1. Packing
The packing box may be
fully recycled as confirmed
by the recycling
symbol.
2. Energy saving tips
Always dry a full load:
depending on the type of
laundry and the
programme/drying time.
By preference use the
maximum spin speed
allowed by your washing
machine, since draining the
water mechanically requires
less energy. You will save
time and energy when
running your drying cycle.
Do not overdry the laundry.
Clean the lint filter after
every
drying cycle.
Place your dryer in a room
with a temperature
between 15° C and 20° C. In
case of higher temperature
ventilate the room.
Always select the correct
programme/drying time for
the load in order to obtain
the desired drying results.
Select the gentle option
only with small loads.
When drying cotton, for
example: dry iron dry and
cupboard dry loads
together. Start with the iron
dry programme/drying time
setting, remove the laundry
to be ironed at the end of
that cycle and dry the
remainder of the load on
the cupboard dry setting.
3. Disposing of packaging
and old Dryer.
The dryer is built from
reusable materials. The
dryer must be disposed of
in compliance with local
waste disposal regulations.
Before scrapping, cut off
the power cable so that the
dryer cannot be connected
to the mains.
4. Child safety:
Children must not be
allowed to play with the
dryer.
5. General
recommendations:
Always set the programme/
time selector knob to the
0 position after use. This
prevents the dryer from
being switched on
accidentally.
Before cleaning or carrying
out maintenance, switch off
the dryer and disconnect it
from the mains supply.
To clean the outside of the
dryer, use a neutral
detergent and a damp
cloth.
Do not use abrasive
detergents.
Wipe away lint from the
door seal and the door
using a damp cloth.
If the lint filter mesh is
clogged, clean it with water
and a soft brush.
Since lint can go through
the filter it is necessary to
clean, from time to time,
the complete filter area
(including below the filter)
with a brush, a damp cloth
or with a vacuum cleaner.
If necessary, the power
cable may be replaced with
an identical one obtained
from our After-Sales
Service. The power cable
must only be replaced by a
qualified technician.
